So with a busy schedule up to Oldhammer USA I thought I might get a quick jump on everything so I am not rushed days before. The only thing that is missing from my army is 2 chaos dwarfs. I'm not holding my breath on getting these before the Oldhammer Day though. However I have finally Stillmania'ed my list and am posting it for viewing. Let me know what you think.

*Update: So the photobucket fail hit this post, and I was reediting it today. Then it hit me...duh Why didn't you ask anyone at BOYL while you were there. Totally slipped my mind. That quote on the 3rd page got me thinking again, and would like to get some concrete answers on this. If anyone has any leads or ideas on the matter it would be much appreciated. Is this a production copy or what?

So I haven't been doing much lately as work, life, lack of
inspiration...well you know. So the other night I woke up at 23:00 and
just could not get back to sleep. So I came down stairs and turned the
computer on and I had a thought. Let's roll up a RoC champ. Well not
so much roll, but more tweak what I already had. I had planned for
awhile to turn Schmendrick and a few other figures into a game able
warband. So that night I got all my stats squared away. Then with the
wife and daughter out of town this weekend, I decided to rebase the
figures as they just did not look cohesive. So then I thought why not
get a solo game in since no one was around. So for the pure enjoyment
of the forum, all from a night of insomnia, and an inspiration to rebase
figures! I give you......

Hello fellow Stillmaniacs, Let's get ready and dive into some Stillhammer!
I
don't know about you but I find myself constantly thumbing through my
collection of White Dwarfs. Issue 197 is one I come back to again and
again. It has actually vaulted it self into the nightstand bookshelf in
a place of lauded glory. Oh yes back on topic....Stillmania.

Here
we are in June 1996 over a decade since the release of Warhammer 3E. and Realm of Chaos. During the "GW Red Period" it has become a scene of
tourney play and "Herohammer". But do not despair fellow Oldhammerer's
there is a shining beacon of hope and his name is Nigel Stillman. We
all know him as the man who authored Warhammer armies, and for a
period would write an article here and there. But it would seem for the
most part that Nigel would stay in the shadows. Periodically he would
share is wisdom in an odd article here and there. Then came Warhammer
armies Empire, he would then continue on to write several more Warhammer
army books: Wood Elves, Lizardmen, Bretonnia.

I still
can't get enough of the Stillmania articles though. They only spanned
about 7-10 White Dwarf issues. But these words of wisdom shine down
from above on us mere mortals. Harkening back to the days of Oldhammer
and once again showing that it is okay to play the game in our childhood innocence and have fun!

Now this is an ethos I could strive to follow......
WD Issue 221 p. 75

So journey with me back to the time of Stillhammer and become a Stillmaniac like me!
